check your battery cables. My girlfriends car did the same thing and it was the battery cable.

You drove through the bermuda triangle... :P

Honestly, check your alternator, ground, add more grounds if you have to, and battery leads, you getting any check engine lights at all? if so check the code. most likely its not that though.
